@Tuftenstein @MorganScorpion @ciaohandy @Cousin_Barnabus @SkinTrader2 @HorrorSingh @MacReadys_Beard @ConnieJoJo2 Igor's "walk this way" was an ad lib by Marty Feldman which made its way into the film. It was also the inspiration for the Aerosmith song!

[🎃RETRO HOUSE OF HORROR aka Peter Cushing's Cat 🎃 @cushing_s]

Watched Mel Brooks' YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) which is a wacky comedy with zany performances from Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman in particular. The film uses the laboratory equipment from the original Frankenstein movie.

[🎃RETRO HOUSE OF HORROR aka Peter Cushing's Cat 🎃 @cushing_s]

Watched THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN (1964) starring Peter Cushing & Sandor Eles, directed by Freddie Francis. The 3rd Hammer film in the series with a more traditional monster, is enjoyable but not the best of the series. Good to see Peter Woodthorpe (Del Boy's father!) as Zoltan

[🎃RETRO HOUSE OF HORROR aka Peter Cushing's Cat 🎃 @cushing_s]

@Tuftenstein @MorganScorpion @ciaohandy @HorrorSingh @MacReadys_Beard Yes worth a watch for Lee and good to see him with more dialogue but it's definitely missing Peter Cushing's presence.

[🎃RETRO HOUSE OF HORROR aka Peter Cushing's Cat 🎃 @cushing_s]

Watched COUNT DRACULA (1970) starring Christopher Lee, Herbert Lom & Klaus Kinski. Jess Franco's film promised to be the first to tell the real Bram Stoker tale, an atmospheric version with more dialogue for Lee & was apparently his favourite Dracula role.

@JsPorter1966 @Cousin_Barnabus @SkinTrader2 @MorganScorpion @Tuftenstein @ciaohandy Sounds like it gets better with part 2.

[🎃RETRO HOUSE OF HORROR aka Peter Cushing's Cat 🎃 @cushing_s]

Watched 28 DAYS LATER (2002) directed by Danny Boyle starring Cillian Murphy & the sequel 28 YEARS LATER (2007) starring Robert Carlyle.

How to the 28 Years Later films compare?

@Helennon1 @Rob197711 @Cousin_Barnabus @SkinTrader2 @MorganScorpion @Tuftenstein @ciaohandy Interesting - worth persevering with then!

@indieimmy @Cousin_Barnabus @SkinTrader2 @MorganScorpion @Tuftenstein @ciaohandy Thanks - I thought that may be the case!

@Cousin_Barnabus This looks good...

[🎃RETRO HOUSE OF HORROR aka Peter Cushing's Cat 🎃 @cushing_s]

Watched the Hammer classic THE CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF (1961) starring Oliver Reed, Clifford Evans & Yvonne Romain, directed by Terence Fisher. My first watch of Hammer's only lycanthropic film. Dated sure but great seeing Ollie putting his all into the title role.

@Tuftenstein @Cousin_Barnabus @SkinTrader2 @MacReadys_Beard @MorganScorpion @ciaohandy @ConnieJoJo2 I've encouraged him to get more horror mags in.

[🎃RETRO HOUSE OF HORROR aka Peter Cushing's Cat 🎃 @cushing_s]

Bought FANGORIA PRESENTS FRANKENSTEIN magazine with a great chapter on the Hammer films as well as Guillermo Del Toro version, the Universal films and Mary Shelley.

@Tuftenstein @Cousin_Barnabus @SkinTrader2 @MacReadys_Beard @MorganScorpion @ciaohandy @ConnieJoJo2 I got it at my local newsagent.
